The Distinguished Service Award (DSA) was created in 1940 to honor those who rendered service to the Order beyond the lodge level. The award is presented to Arrowmen, youth and adult, who have rendered distinguished and outstanding service to the Order on a sectional, regional, or national basis.

 

The Silver Arrowhead is the newsletter for recipients of the Order of the Arrow's Distinguished Service Award. It largely contains news about current DSA recipients, new awardees, and historical profiles of significant recipients.
